WHAT IT DOES

What delete_program does on Marketo MCP Server

AI agents call delete_program to permanently remove resources in Marketo MCP Server, typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.

RISK

Why delete_program is rated Critical

This tool permanently removes a program and all nested assets (campaigns, leads, activities, etc.) from Marketo without the ability to undo the operation. Deletion is irreversible and has broad blast radius (child contents), making it Destructive rather than Write. Severity is high because accidental execution could destroy significant marketing infrastructure and historical data, though not direct financial impact.

From the tool's definition Tool name: delete_program. Description: 'Delete a program and all its child contents in Marketo.' The verb 'delete' combined with 'all its child contents' explicitly indicates irreversible destruction of data.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs delete_program safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Marketo MCP Server, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For delete_program, this is the rule to start with:

delete_program Hidden

delete_program is removed from the agent's tool list entirely, so the agent never calls it. The rest of the server keeps working.
